[Trainer-talk] help with email link/Internet Explorer

[Anita Adkins]

Thanks for the assistance. I did get it to work yesterday. I followed David 
Andrews advice, but JAWS 14 did not help. So I played with my scripting 
settings under security under Internet Options and got it to work. But, 
David GoldField, I appreciate your keyboard shortcut commands here because 
that will be easier in the future. I tried pressing enter on your link to 
Freedom Scientific, but the computer isn't opening the page. I'll need to 
get ready for church here soon, but later this evening, I will try again. 
Thanks again. Anita

Anita,
Try this.
Open the message in Windows Live Mail containing the link.
Point to the link with your arrow keys but don't press the enter key to
open the link.
Instead, use the context menu or what JAWS calls the applications key,
which is the third key to the right of the spacebar.
Does the menu have a choice such as copy link" or "copy link location?"
If it does, press enter on that choice.
In theory, this should copy the actual address or URL of the page to
your clipboard.
Now, open Internet Explorer.
Press alt-D to go to the address bar.
Press ctrl-V to paste the link that is in your clipboard onto the
address bar.
Press enter.
Does it work?

Also, are you able to press enter on links contained in other messages
without receiving script errors?
As an example, I'll place a link to Freedom Scientific's Web site below.
If you press enter on that link, does it take you to the correct page?
www.freedomscientific.com
